"I'm not sure how to say this but an even that caused all of the matter and energy in the universe to be created i personally don't want being repeated on my planet."

I'd rather not have it happen in my little neck of the Milky Way Galaxy.

There were a series of sci-fi books written in the late 1980's (starting with "Hyperion", I believe) where the Human Race was forced to flee the Earth because a bunch of crazy scientists "accidentally" created a black hole that fell to the center of the Earth, and consumed it.

I bet my dad owns it ill have to ask him he likes old science fiction books and movies. I'm the complete opposite though I hardly read ones that came out before I was born.

They weren't so much scientists as they were AI, though.

If the planet Earth was being consumed by a black hole at any noticeable rate, the gravity would have been to strong for them to escape.

Keep in mind- science fiction. It’s not going to have it right. Thats the point of it.
